IMPORTANT NOTICEInstallation of headrest products require careful planning and preparation. Be extremely careful of seats that have airbags built into them. Keep wiring away from any airbag wiring (usually identied by yellow connectors and yellow wire jackets). Damage to airbag wiring can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants. If you have any questions regarding wire routing or installation in a vehicle, please contact VOXX Technical Support at 1-800-225-6074.When connecting power and ground in a mobile video installation, ensure that the ACC wire is fused at the point where it is connected to the vehicle ACC wiring. Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops between the vehicle connection point and the mobile video product.An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to the driver if the LCD panel or video monitor is used for vehicle information, system control, rear or side observation or navigation. If the LCD panel or video monitor is used for television reception, video or DVD play, the LCD panel or video monitor must be installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is in “park” or when the vehicle’s parking brake is applied.An LCD panel or video monitor used for television reception, video or DVD play that operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the parking brake is not applied must be installed to the rear of the driver’s seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle.Patented, refer to www.voxxintl.com/company/patents.2
MATERIALS INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE:Installation Package (P/N XXXX) (1pc) The wireless FM Interface Box automatically determines which headrest is M1 and which headrest is M2 and sets each headrest to its own function (IR transmitter channel and IR receiver remote control codes). The M1 Monitor has Pink/Green DIN connectors and the M2 Monitor has Blue/Yellow DIN connectors and should be connected to their respective connectors.3d) Installation Guideb) 2 Pin DC Power Cable(P/N 112-3667) - (1pc)c) HDMI Cable(P/N 112-XXXX) - (1pc)a) Wireless FM Interface Box(P/N 136-XXXX) - (1pc)- or -(P/N 112-4327) - (1pc)
VEHICLE PREPARATION:1) Read the installation guide and get familiar with the electrical requirementsand connections.2) Prepare the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access tothe vehicle’s wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesseswill be located.a) Monitors: Vehicle-specic Headrest NOTE:- The M1 monitor has the pink/green connectors.- The M2 monitor has the blue/yellow connectors. b) Wireless FMM Interface Box: Located under either seat where monitorsare located or in the center console.3) Locate an accessory power source (+12 VDC should be present when theignition key is in the accessory and run positions. 0 VDC should be presentwhen the ignition key is in the OFF position) and a good ground. Generally,these wires can be located at the ignition switch or fusebox. NOTE: Ensure that the switched power is fused at the source. Failure todo so may result in vehicle and wiring damage.4) Run the power harness from the power source to the wireless FMM InterfaceBox. Refer to the Headrest System Wiring Diagram on Page 6. Be sure thatall the wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a mannerthat it will not be pinched when it is fully installed. Be sure to leave enoughslack in the wiring at each component to allow sufcient working room. Besure to leave enough slack in the monitor cables to allow the headrest tomove up or down, and the seat to move backward and forward.NOTE: Do not interfere with airbags or airbag wiring.5) Install the Headrests:a) Remove the vehicle’s original headrests.b) Hold the headrest monitor above the seat and insert the two cables intothe headrest support tube holes. Make sure that the headrest is in thecorrect position (Display facing the rear of the vehicle).c) Route the cables through the seat back and out the bottom of the seat.d) Place the headrest support tubes into the support tube holes while pullingthe cables to remove the slack. Be sure to leave enough slack in themonitor cables to allow the headrest monitor to move up or down.e) Keep monitor cables away from seat tracks to avoid wire damage whenseats are moved.4
VEHICLE PREPARATION (continued):6) Connect all the components together (electrically) and verify proper operationof all the system functions. (Refer to the Headrest System Wiring Diagram onpage 6)a) Connect the headrest DIN cables to the FMM Interface Box DIN cableswhich are color coded. Connect each headrest cable to the correct colorcable on the Wireless FMM Interface Box.b) Locate an accessory power source (+12 VDC should be present when theignition key is in the accessory and run positions. 0 VDC should be presentwhen the ignition key is in the OFF position) and a good ground. Generally,these wires can be located at the ignition switch or fusebox..c) Extend the wireless FM antenna to its full length and orient for best reception.Do not place it on the Wireless FMM Interface Box or near metal.NOTE: In certain areas where there are a large number of FM radio stations (e.g. large cities, urban areas), the reception of the FM signal may not be satisfactory, resulting in static, distorted sound or signal bleed thru from strong local radio stations. This is not a defect in the product, but the result of a stronger local radio station overpowering the wireless FM transmitter in your headrest system.If wireless reception is unsatisfactory, an optional wired relay box (Audiovox P/N FMDIRB) can be installed which will improve audio quality.7) After verifying the proper operation of the system, mount each component.8) When all the components are mounted, recheck the entire system to be sureit is functioning correctly. Make sure that no wiring was pinched or connectedimproperly during the nal installation. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for systemoperation.199 CHANNEL WIRELESS FM MODULATOR:The system is equipped with a 199 channel built-in wireless FM Modulator, that allows you to listen to the DVD audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s radio to one of the selected frequencies. This feature is accessed by using the FM transmitter buttons on the remote control (FMM ON/OFF). Whenever the FM Modulator is on, broadcast reception on the vehicle’s radio will be poor. Switching the FM Modulator off will allow normal radio reception.5
